For the second time, iconic 80's New Wave synthopop gods Depeche Mode and Hublot have teamed up to produce a very special wristwatch for charity, the last time this happened was back in 2010, with a Benefit Concert at the Albert Hall for the Teenage Cancer trust, and the auction of 12 special watches.

This time, the charity is "Water", which works to bring safe drinking water to developing countries, and the project includes a limited production run of 250 watches, and it is called, rather unoriginally, "The Limited Edition Big Bang Depeche Mode", the wristwatch is made from microblasted black ceramic, and features a skeleton mat black dial, microblasted black-plated decoration, with clous pyramide applique design, and black plated hands, and Sapphire anti reflective crystal, with Hubot logo printed on the inner side, the pyramide applique design is repeated accros the strap, and on the hour markers.

The price is not known yet, and neither is the manner and form in which they will be sold, whether it be an auction, online purchase, or in store, but watch this space for further news.
